New Exhaust Issues!

[matzki]

Hi all,

I'm looking to sort myself out with a new exhaust this Saturday, I have a Scorpion 182 that's gone on a hissy fit, and one of the baffles have gone, leaving me with the most atrocious metal on metal vibration sound at both idle and higher revs.

I've been doing a bit of research on here and it seems to me that there is no particular stand out favourite exhaust. A lot of people are saying Yozzasport is a great choice, others are saying orbisound are good, and others are saying Milltek and Scorpion 192 systems.

Would anyone be willing to point out the pro's and cons of these? I really don't mind having a loud/booming exhaust - what I'm really after is a slight boost in lower torque/bhp.

Hopefully some of you guys can help me out!

Cheers,
Matt

If i wasnt arsed about noise (unfortunatly i am ) i go for the yozza for the New BTM Exhaust!

 

[matzki]

I have seen the new BTM, looks and sounds great in my own opinion! Only think that gets me about that is the cost - £500 is a little much for me to afford otherwise that's my first option!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

If £500 is too steep you can forget about the orbisoud. That's about a grand new IIRC.

Meercat > all.

Then that's Orbisound out of the question! Couldn't find any pricing, so I was unaware of the actual cost. I kinda guessed they would be around the average pricing £350 - £550.. My bad! I'm kinda after something unique but it makes it really difficult with a tight budget. I saw a post on here with an angle cut pipercross system, they looked nice.

Why don't your source an original yozza system, there aroud 250-350

i love my k-tec janspeed system its not VERY noisey but enough and the car seams to respond loads better with it on, cant tell you anything exact power but no exhaust alone will add massive bhp/ torque , have a look on k-tecs website think they are £330 for a supersprint which is what i have !

Are these still available first hand? I'm not too keen on the thought of a second hand, as I've not had my 182 that long, and the exhaust has already s**t on me!

Thanks bud, I'll be sure to take a look! Has it made a big difference then?

I cant see you having an issue with a 2nd hand yozza mate

Ahh nice one, are they pretty solid then?

All the systems iv seen have been in A1 condition! So you shouldnt have any problems!

 

[Mr Plums]

How much is a good full system from front to back for a 182, or do you just go catback?

Im used to turbo cars and a full system usually costs around a thousands for a turboback system.

For example, look at the prices for the vxr nurburgring ive just sold...

Im well happy with paying half the price of that.

Cool, cheers bud - Guess I'll keep my eyes open!

I think so personally , might be psycological but seams to pull better now and the noise makes you smile people dont mention these systems alot but i cant say nothing but good things about mine the noise is right and the power feels better !

Scorpion RS192 here, decat welded on though. £150 collected

 

[Martin.]

If I wasn't too fussed about the noise I'd go for Yozza. Just for the build quality. It's just too loud/raspy for me. I went for a new Milltek, least with new if I ever have any problems with welds etc it's under lifetime warranty...

Fred can still make the original Yozza systems. The hero's choice

 

[M@tt_182]

I'm running a Yozza (Hero's choice) and it's loud but not ear bleeding, my RS192 with decat had more of a drone!

 

[Coops Mk1]

as above, I run a yozza and it does sound excellent and even though I think mines about 5 years old its still absolutely mint condition, very very well built exhausts

they are loud, I run mine with a cat and under load at certain rpm's it resonates through the cabin making conversation etc difficult, but then it eases off up the rev range and takes on a lovely raspy howl to the limiter, hairs on the back of the neck type stuff and tbh I do most of my driving on my own, so with just you in the car its great!

 

[matzki]

Looks like Yozza's are the strong favourite! Cheers guys - Appreciate the help.

I guess I better get round to messaging Fred at some point this weekend!

I didnt know which exhaust to buy.

I ended up buying the full milltek system, as Ktec were offering it with a bit of discount if you bought it with the milltek decat aswell.

Tbh im extremely happy with it. Really well made and it sounds epic. As the manifold has a 2.5" exit, the entire exhaust is now a full 2.5" exhaust from manifold to the back.

Its has given a noticable amount of torque also in the mid/low range. With the standard system I used to find myself in the higher revs all the time, whereas now im using between 2.5 a 4k alot more for a bit of nippy driving.

At first I thought the car had got slower as I couldnt feel the 5k "kick" but it has infact smoothed the power out a bit giving more mid range.

Question: Has anyone else noticed a torque increase and less of a kick from a new exhaust ?

You cant go wrong with a milltek tbh. Cheaper than a Yozza, better fitting than an RS192, very smart looking tailpipes and a lifetime warranty....
